Software is outdated when updates are available or when they are superceeded by another. I am not talking about running bleeding edge code. MDB2 excels DB in many ways, not just in more recent updates. Anyway, my vote stands - remove code we don't need. If distros wanna drag DB along it's probably because of dependencies in other software. Let's remove ours and make it easier for them to get rid off it. ;))) Till _______________________________________________ List info: http://lists.roundcube.net/dev/
